Because other ministries were not paying their tabs, the corporation could not pay foreign partners to drill for more oil. By settling these historic dues and covering debt guarantees, the government is unclogging a major operational bottleneck that has historically choked off FDI, as well as satisfying IMF requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>IN CONTEXT-<\/strong> The IMF forced the government\u2019s hand. During <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/5\/632.pdf\" style=\"\">recent reviews (pdf)<\/a>, the Fund flagged EGPC as a fiscal liability, noting that sovereign guarantees for the corporation currently stands at 18% of GDP. The IMF noted that fixing the corporation\u2019s finances requires a mix of higher production levels, energy price adjustments, and stronger collection mechanisms, which could reduce government guarantees to EGPC by 25% in the upcoming FY.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Foreign firms are stepping back up to the rig. <\/strong>The liquidity injection has allowed the corporation to slash its arrears to foreign energy firms to just USD 700 mn from a peak of USD 6.1 bn, with plans to clear the remaining balance next month. In response, global energy giants have already <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2026\/05\/10\/energy-giants-pledge-usd-19-bn-to-our-petroleum-sector\/\" style=\"\">pledged<\/a> to deploy USD 19 bn in new exploration and production over the next three years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>DATA POINT-<\/strong> Total state loans are expected to be EGP 6.2 tn for the current year, with EGPC currently accounting for 60% of these guarantees, a government official tells us. Guarantees are also set to jump to EGP 6.9 tn in the upcoming FY, representing 28.1% of the GDP.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s next: <\/strong>The Fund\u2019s mission is arriving in Cairo on 15 June to conduct the combined seventh and eighth reviews.
